My favourite part of the project was sitting with each of these women and talking about their lives and interests – they are all genuinely inspirational people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_9 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eFrom these conversations I’ve made 4 images to be displayed on Stapleton Road.
